As some folks may have been able to figure out by my previous postings, I'm not a big fan of the Iraq war nor of "Faux News", as I prefer to call them. However, I must say that they did an awesome job of slapping the sh*t out of someone from the Westboro Baptist Church on TV:

For those who the name does not ring a bell, the church is run by Fred Phelps of "God Hates Fags" fame. Their latest stunt consists of protesting funerals of soldiers, which is what this interview was about.

Heck, it's not every day that a newscaster calls an interviewee "a nut".

Couple Arrested In Baltimore Asking For Directions

Story by thewbalchannel.com

Baltimore City police arrested a Virginia couple over the weekend after they asked an officer for directions.

WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team reporter David Collins said Joshua Kelly and Llara Brook, of Chantilly, Va., got lost leaving an Orioles game on Saturday. Collins reported a city officer arrested them for trespassing on a public street while they were asking for directions .

"In jail for eight hours -- sleeping on a concrete floor next to a toilet," Kelly said.

"It was a nightmare," Brook said. "I was in there thinking I was just dreaming and waiting to wake up."

Collins reported it was a nightmare ending to a nearly perfect day. He said the couple went to a company picnic and watched the Orioles beat Kansas City. It was their first trip to Camden Yards and asked two people for directions to Interstate 95 South when they left.

Collins said somehow they ended up in the Cherry Hill section of south Baltimore. Hopelessly lost, relief melted away concerns after they spotted a police vehicle.

"I said, 'Thank goodness, could you please get us to 95?" Kelly said.

"The first thing that she said to us was no -- you just ran that stop sign, pull over," Brook said. "It wasn't a big deal. We'll pay the stop sign violation, but can we have directions?"

"What she said was 'You found your own way in here, you can find your own way out.'" Kelly said.

Who hires out of control psycho police officers like this anyway?
